SIGNALING FOR MULTICAST BROADCAST SERVICE SINGLE FREQUENCY NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17643273 titled 'SIGNALING FOR MULTICAST BROADCAST SERVICE SINGLE FREQUENCY NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a wireless communication system that enables a user equipment (UE) to receive multicast broadcast service (MBS) data via a single frequency network (SFN). The UE receives configuration information for one or more multicast traffic channels and is then scheduled to receive MBS SFN data via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

• The patent application describes a system for delivering multicast broadcast service (MBS) data to user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network.
• The UE receives configuration information for one or more multicast traffic channels, indicating how the MBS data will be transmitted.
• The UE is then scheduled to receive MBS SFN data via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), which is used to control the transmission of data.
• The MBS SFN data is received by the UE via a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), which is associated with both SFN communications and unicast communications.
• The PDSCH may also be associated with only MBS SFN communications, depending on the configuration.
• This system allows for efficient and reliable delivery of MBS data to multiple UEs in a wireless communication network.

Potential Applications

• This technology can be applied in various industries that require efficient multicast broadcast service (MBS) data delivery, such as media and entertainment, public safety, and transportation.
• It can be used to deliver real-time updates, alerts, and multimedia content to a large number of users simultaneously.
• This technology can also be utilized in IoT (Internet of Things) applications, where multiple devices need to receive the same data simultaneously.

Problems Solved

• This technology solves the problem of efficiently delivering multicast broadcast service (MBS) data to multiple user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network.
• It ensures that the UE receives the MBS SFN data in a reliable and timely manner, improving the overall user experience.
• By utilizing a single frequency network (SFN) and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), this technology optimizes the use of network resources and reduces interference.

Benefits

• Efficient delivery of multicast broadcast service (MBS) data to multiple user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network.
• Reliable and timely reception of MBS SFN data, improving the user experience.
• Optimization of network resources and reduction of interference through the use of a single frequency network (SFN) and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

Original Abstract Submitted

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration, for a multicast broadcast service (MBS) single frequency network (SFN) area, indicating configuration information for one or more multicast traffic channels. The UE may receive, in accordance with the configuration, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) communication scheduling an MBS SFN data communication associated with a multicast traffic channel, of the one or more multicast traffic channels. The UE may receive the MBS SFN data communication via a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) that is associated with both SFN communications and unicast communications or that is associated with only MBS SFN communications. Numerous other aspects are provided.
